Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint are (5.55,4.655)

Explanation:

Midpoint

The midpoint (xm,ym) of a segment defined by points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is calculated as follows:


\displaystyle x_m=(x_1+x_2)/(2)


\displaystyle y_m=(y_1+y_2)/(2)

We are given the points (5.1 , 5.71) and (6 , 3.6). The coordinates of the midpoint are:


\displaystyle x_m=(5.1+6)/(2)=(11.1)/(2)=5.55


\displaystyle y_m=(5.71+3.6)/(2)=( 9.31)/(2)=4.655

The coordinates of the midpoint are (5.55,4.655)
